    Solution

    ATQ;

    Amount initially spent by A on rent = 30,000 X 0.40 = Rs. 12,000

    Increased amount spent on Rent = 12,000 + 500 = Rs. 12,500

    Amount initially spent by A on food = Rs. 3,000

    Increased amount spent on food = 3,000 X 1.10 = Rs. 3,300

    Increased income of A = 30,000 X 1.20 = Rs. 36,000

    So, new savings of A = 36,000 - (12,500 + 3,300) = Rs. 20,200
